Actually, I came up with Randy Hassle, muttered it to myself a few times, vaguely remembered the existence of a ballplayer named Andy Hassler, and hit bbref to check to see if he'd ever been a Met.

AG/DC

I should have just anagrammed hims to "Randy Hassle." It sounds filthy.

That was a Rogers-esque move by magadan, but I'll assume 'Bucket's timestamp means he came in independently.

The Met Fairy expansion team enters the contest at the bottom of the standings. Meanwhile,[url=http://mbtn.net] MBTN [/url]is reporting that anagram champ and current contest leader JCL will be away from a computer for a week. Will this getaway cost JCL the pennant here, or will the competition dilute enough of the remaining points so as to preserve JCL's slim lead? As it is, JCL's magic number has been reduced by [STRIKE]two[/STRIKE] three since last night's Met game, even though JCL himself hasn't solved any more anagrams. We shall see.

Yes you are. Especially for helping to avoid a controversy here. You are so en fuego, that I gave you a with a bullet entry. All responses must be spelled correctly to receive credit. Had you not corrected your answer, "I Kill Decades" would have remained in play. My reason for doing so resides in the following Met Trivia question:

"I was once a Met. If you wrote my name on a piece of paper and then crossed out the first letter of my first name, you would be left with the name of another Met. Who am I?"
